"The first thing I learned about Ford Carter was that he'd lived in this small oceanside town for months and had still never seen the ocean... The second thing I learned about him, however, was that anything I'd learned before learning everything about him meant absolutely nothing at all."
This is a work-in-progress story about two college students who learn about each other at their own paces; one seems to know more than he should and the other seems to know nothing at all. Certain things are subject to change but hopefully, you'll enjoy their journey.

Possessive Rich Bully
[WARNING - EXPLICIT CONTENT] I pulled my elbow from his death grip. "You're ashamed of me. Admit it. You hate the idea of been seen with me." I shot venomous accusations his way. He didn't look at me. I'd rejected his kiss, pushed him away from and in return he'd turned cold and cruel, again. He'd shown nothing but hatred for me in public yet held me with aching tenderness when it was just us. I was sick of his games. He needed to decide whether he wanted me or not. "You parade new girls daily in front of my eyes," a sob escaped my throat. "And don't even deny you don't occasionally screw Charlotte behind my back." His ice blue eyes pierced my soul with his sharp gaze. He was teetering on the verge of lashing out on me. "How would you feel if I did the same to you, huh?" I pushed at his stiff chest. "Had several boyfriends, invited them to our home." His eyes cut to me, and a look darker than I've ever seen clouded his features I gestured to our grandiose home bought by his dizzying wealth. "And parade them right in front--" Before I knew it, I was face down and nearly suffocated by the soft material of our couch, I barely noticed my skirt pushed upwards and panties shoved aside. "You're my goddamn wife, Astoria. I will not tolerate your defiance." The sound of his belt loosening, zipper lowering, he entered me violently taking my breath with him. "Yet everyone thinks I'm still your charity case because you won't claim me." "You want to be claimed? Fine. But I am warning you, this lifestyle you're so accustomed to will be gone. I will be dirt poor and your family will be fired." "Then divorce and set me free. I am done being your dirty secret." Axel Trent, the spoiled prince always got whatever he wished for, and I was one of the thing he had wished to possess. Our fate were meant to collide in the cruelest way possible.

The Girl Who Walked Away
Prologue In the world of college life, words are often thrown around like confetti-light, colorful, and sometimes lacking substance. They say things to fill the silence, to create connections, and to express feelings that often remain hidden beneath the surface. But what happens when those words fall flat? When the promises made in fleeting moments fade into echoes of unfulfilled intentions? This is a story about the complexities of communication and the silent battles fought within relationships. It began with a simple smile exchanged in the midst of chaos during National Pharmacy Week-a moment that seemed inconsequential yet held the weight of possibilities. She found herself drawn to him, captivated by the way he spoke, the way he made her feel. But as she discovered, words alone would not be enough to bridge the gap between us. As their paths intertwined, we danced around each other in a series of unsaid feelings, lingering glances, and an unspoken connection that left her yearning for more. But with every promise unkept, the reality became clearer: words are just that-words. They mean little without the actions to back them up. This is the story of Elle's journey through that realization, a tale of fleeting moments, unfulfilled expectations, and ultimately, the power of choosing clarity over confusion. It's about learning that love is not just spoken; it's demonstrated. And in the end, it was a lesson that would change everything she thought she knew about relationships and herself.Complete
Perhaps (Book 1) | ✔
"It started the first time I saw you..." * I was all alone. No one was there. No one knew that I was drowning right now. No one knew how much I was hurting. No one could see me... Except for one. Professor Lee... Yes. Professor Lee. My Professor Lee. The teacher that I had fallen so hopelessly and so helplessly for. The teacher who made my heart lodge itself in my throat with his smile and his laugh . . . He had noticed that I was hurting. He cared. Didn't he? The one person who had noticed-who I thought, maybe, just maybe, cared-was forbidden to me. Sure, he may have cared about me, but he cared about me as his student. There was no way that he cared about me the same way I cared about him. There was no way he thought of me the same way I constantly thought of him. He doesn't love me the way I love him... I reminded myself again that we would never be able to have a normal relationship. I'd never be able to hug him or kiss him in public. I'd never be able to hold his hand in public. Take silly pictures with him and upload them to Instagram, or go on double dates with my friends with him. Everything about our relationship would have to stay a secret. And what kind of relationship is that? How could a relationship that could only exist behind closed doors be anything fun? But did I really care more about those things than I did him? No. I didn't need all that stuff...pictures and double dates and public displays of affection. I didn't need them. I just needed-I just wanted-Professor Lee. * Gloria Anderson is a sophomore studying ballet and theatre at a prestigious private college: Accent Academy. The day she meets her new History of Theatre teacher, Professor Daniel Lee, she feels an attraction to him that she cannot explain. A series of events throughout the semester serve to bring student and teacher closer to one another-closer than Gloria could have ever imagined. Can she allow herself to dream of something more with him?Complete
